Phil Steel's Quarterbacks Of The Week (Week 7)

[MeanGreen61]

My QB’s of the Week Bo Wallace, Ole Miss • Derek Thompson, North Texas • Adam Kennedy, Arkansas St

QB Bo Wallace (Ole Miss) – After consecutive losses the Rebels need to get back on their feet this week vs Texas A&M. Their best opportunity for a win here would be by riding their dual-threat QB Bo Wallace who is off a 336 yd passing game last week against Auburn. Wallace can also be a ground threat with 3 rushing td’s on the year with double-digit carries in 4 of Ole Miss’ 5 games. The Aggies have a suspect defense to say the least allowing 483 ypg on the road this season so we like Wallace’s chances.

QB Derek Thompson (North Texas) – The Middle Tenn secondary has been vulnerable to the pass so far this season allowing 300+ yds in 3 contests this season. Toss in a QB in Derek Thompson who just passed for his 2^nd 300 yd game of the season last week vs Tulane and you have an excellent Surprise Fantasy QB this week. Over the past 3 games Thompson has attempted 42 passes per game and we expect more of the same.

QB Adam Kennedy (Arkansas St) – While Adam Kennedy has just a 3-2 ratio on the season, we like his chances here against an Idaho defense that has allowed 537 ypg this season including an amazing 734 yds in their 61-14 loss to Fresno St. Kennedy meanwhile has completed at least 20 passes in each of his L/4 games (37-46-318 in their last game vs Mizzou) while also showing his dual-threat ability with double-digit carries in 3 of the L/4. Look for Kennedy to surpass the 300-yard pass mark here and quite possibly throw for as many td’s vs the Vandals as he has thrown for the full season.

So, reading comprehension anyone?

This, lol. Including Kram, who calls out everyone's intelligence, reading skills, and typing skills.

All in good fun Kram. No one is perfect.

So, reading comprehension anyone?

Thought the same thing.

[Rudy]

Has anyone called to verify this?

[unt_rocket09]

And I thought my MS students needed help on reading skills.

Read much?

[emmitt01]

I called and checked. DT didn't throw 42 times against Tulane.

I called and checked. DT didn't throw 42 times against Tulane.

[UNTLifer]

DT threw 47 times vs. Ball State, 36 vs. Georgia and 42 vs. Tulane. That would average to one pass shy of 42 per game over those three he referenced.

So, since Emmitt called, we know he probably didn't post the facts...so, someone who will please clue me in.....not going to re-read the thing....so, if I missed something...no problem. I have no problem owning up to missing or not catching the drift of something. It happens...problem comes when folks try to insist they read it correctly and then accuse the one who actually wrote the thing of the error....shall we name the usual suspects?

So, someone enlighten me as to the above...happy to have the help.
